Cult Of Daath

Formed in 1999 and hailing from Chicago, IL, Cult of Daath is a primal, misanthropic black metal band inspired by European forefathers such as Hellhammer, Darkthrone, and early Beherit. Essentially a collaboration between ex-Ezurate guitarist, bassist, and vocalist Culggath Immortum and drummer/vocalist Wargoat Obscurum (also of Nachtmystium and ex-Krieg), Cult of Daath debuted with 2001's The Grand Torturers of Hell, then took an extended break before returning in 2004. With a flurry of activity, they unleashed the Razor War EP and Under the Cover of the Triumphant Holocaust full-length that same year, and marked 2005 with a third long-player, Slit Throats and Ritual Nights. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia
